Brendan Bunyan

Brendan has been in the Dawson electorate for over 30 years. He has previously lived in Mackay and Proserpine and he currently lives in the Burdekin with his young family. Brendan is a diesel fitter by trade and was a mechanic for 15 years. He currently works as a service manager in an Agricultural business.

Brendan knows that in North Queensland food, power and fuel prices are too high and leave every day Australians struggling.
Brendan will be campaigning to reduce the cost of living, support farmers by giving them additional income and create jobs and infrastructure to provide more opportunity for the region. He also believes that local sporting clubs are the backbone of small communities and he has seen memberships down and young people unable to participate due to the costs associated. He wants to see more support for these small clubs to ensure they continue for future generations.

Brendan also strongly supports the Sugar Industry and believes that it needs;

When asked why he wanted to run for Katter’s Australian Party, Brendan said;

“In my job I regularly speak with local farmers and they have said they have become disappointed and disillusioned with the Government and are looking for change. They want to see a better option. I joined Katter’s Australian Party in 2011, I have always been a supporter and interested in politics – I even used to play rugby with Robbie. I believe the Core Values that Katter stand for, I stand for too.”
